Irrelevant Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 A 21 with a nice motor, aeroscreen, tonneau cover, and an enhanced aerodynamic package consisting of front splitter and rear wing, will have everything . .. . style, aerodynamic efficiency, speed, and power to weight. Not even the most superior of 7s (SVs) will get near such a 21 on a fast track - somewhere like Goodwood for instance. 21s are the future . .. where can I get one?

Jason Plato Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 and with wider track, carbon body panels and the changes that Dave has made to the chassis tube materials the weight should also be on par with an SV I imagine. I would agree that a front splitter, rear defuser and rear wing to complete the package. best not mention the shared drives tho ...... here is C7 TOP Taffia rear gunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrelevant Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 best not mention the shared drives tho ...... Dave21P let it slip about the ex F1 driver he's lined up to drive the 21 at the Goodwood sprint has he? Can't keep his mouth shut that boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry21p Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 He's only a test driver for one of the teams. Looking forward to being taught how to pedal a little faster. I've got the extra silencing sorted now to try and help it get under the noise limits at goodwood. Am a little concerned about induction noise from the RBTB's though.

henry21p Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 The carbon panels are a little more complex than we expected. Lots of compound curves etc. Don't think I can afford that much of RiF's time yet, though there's still time. Have found both sets of GT moulds as well for bonnet changes. There have been SMALL weight savings (Adam will recall the heavy metal plates under the dash that we reduced in weight), but nothing significant. Power increase by 15% will be the most noticeable (over the 160 original). It may be that the cosmetic changes for a more track oriented car need to happen on something OTHER than mine - I've got interest in the damaged one at the moment down in the south west that needs the same kind of rebuild that mine's just had (plus a new nose). It might be that the replacement panels are in the GT style rather than the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 only 15% increase in power 🤔 you will need 207 bhp to be on the pace in class 4 here is C7 TOP Taffia rear gunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil.cavanagh Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 more like 220bhp I've heard..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry21p Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Having driven the VVCR and not having the budget to go for programmable ECU/mapping sessions/solid internals, this is a good stepping stone to future higher power. Don't think i'll be competitive with anything that has more than 20 bhp less than me - so SV's etc with 160bhp max At curborough that is. On big tracks? I'd wager on aerodynamic advantage and better stopping power helps me a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
